infrastructure. TV 2's most important task is to deliver Danish public service
content to the Danish population on commercial terms. With seven TV channels,
the streaming service TV 2 Play, one news site and four apps, TV 2 has the

One Platform to Rule them all by Martin Villumsen
TV 2 is currently building a new and shiny cloud
platform to support all their digital products. But how do you embrace the
diversity present at one of Denmark’s largest broadcasting companies when
building one platform to rule them all? The bold ambition is to abstract away
all the valueless infrastructural complexity to help developers focus on what’s
important to them while still addressing the many different needs. The goal is
to increase developer productivity while increasing stability, and security and
optimizing cloud costs.
In this talk, Martin will share some of the lessons
learned so far while building a cloud platform from scratch and how to embrace
the different needs across many different teams.
Experiences with DDoS attack on TV 2 Play by Rasmus Theodorsen
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks using
botnets are becoming an increasingly common problem. We look at how to identify
an attack and what techniques the attackers typically use to maximize the load
on the systems.
Based on a specific attack on TV 2 Play's web
application, we show how the attack affected our systems and which techniques
can be used to minimize the impact on the systems that are directly or
indirectly affected. We look at what you as a software developer can consider
when designing and hosting web applications to make them more robust against
DDoS, as well as examples of how your Cloud Provider can help.
